Hope Shepherd

Help Me

A/N Thank you guys for 1k reads! I'm glad if you guys are still reading this book because I started this quite a while ago. Let me know if there's anything I can improve or something you'd like to see. Thanks! Also if you were one of my first readers there have been some story edits in case you didn't know.

POV Amelia: My eyes fluttered open and I had a pounding headache. I was bound to a chair with ropes. "Hello Dr. Shepherd," I heard a sinister voice say. A man walked into view, he was clutching his head. "What do you want?" I asked. "I NEED YOU TO FIX ME!" he yelled. "Okay okay what's wrong?" I questioned while trying to stay calm. "YOU NEED TO GET RID OF HER," he kept yelling. "Get rid of who?" Suddenly his voice got quiet, "Bethany won't go away." It suddenly clicked he probably has schizophrenia and is imagining someone named Bethany who is hurting him. "If you let me go maybe I can help you," I proposed hoping he would unbind me. "NO I can't do that! Bethany says no," he exclaimed. He injected something in me and I was out.

Hope at Grey Sloan Memorial

POV Hope: I woke up in a hospital room and my eyes flickered around looking for someone. Every single muscle in my body ached. JJ walked into my view, her blonde hair fell around her face as she looked down at me. "Hi sweetie, you've been asleep for 3 hours." she informed me. I guess I had panic on my face because she said, "It's okay, there's no one else here. No one has done anything except Dr. Wilson and she only hooked up your IV and checked vitals. There is another agent outside your door so nothing will happen and I'm the agent assigned to be with you, so I'll be right here if you need me." I nodded and looked down seeing my bruised body in the thin hospital gown. "Owen hasn't seen you but he is waiting outside. He brought you some clothes to put on but you'll have to wait until after the exam." JJ told me. "Your lying about Owen, he's not waiting outside because when he's stressed he's working in the ER. It's okay because that's how surgeons function," I said when I caught JJ sadly looking at the door. JJ's bright blue eyes went wide which told me I was right, "you don't need to lie to me." "Okay I'm sorry. I just thought you'd want to know that he's there for you," she apologized. I nodded at her. "I'm going to send Dr. Wilson in to do your exam okay? I'll be right outside" JJ went to go get her. Jo came back in with a panel of tests. JJ got up to leave and I immediately felt insecure, "wait!" She turned around. "Can you stay with me?" I asked.

POV JJ: Hope looked so freaked out it's unfortunate the amount of traumatized teenagers we see on this job. I nodded and walked back to her side. Hope gripped my hand and I rubbed her shoulder. I could see the fear in her eyes and I wished I could make the pain go away. I checked Jo Wilson's record and I knew why she wanted her. Dr. Wilson has also had a rough past and had experience with sexual assault. I could tell that Dr. Wilson cared for her. From what I know about Hope, she's already been through so much and this just makes a a thousand times worse.

POV Hope: Jo came in with a small smile on her face and she looked me up and down. They had to measure and take pictures of all my injuries for evidence. I had a gash on my abdomen and many bruises on my thighs and throughout my body. JJ wiped the tears that I didn't know were falling off of my face. Jo palpated my stomach for internal bleeding or distendedness. I flinched when she touched the bruises. When I came to checking my pelvis I squeezed my eyes shut knowing she had to look but I didn't want to think about it. I felt someone sitting down on the bed, but I refused to open my eyes. She touched my hand and I almost pulled back then I felt a shooting pain from whatever Jo was doing and I tightly held JJ's hand. "We're almost done," I heard Jo say. I opened one eye and looked to the side and saw Jennifer looking at me, she smiled warmly and talked to me softly about how they're working on finding Amelia, what's going to happen to me, and they will find the man who took me and put him away forever. I hoped they would find him and makes sure he doesn't hurt anyone ever again. After what seemed like hours even though it was probably just 30 minutes, Jo was finally done. She stitched my gash on my abdomen and cleaned up my bruises and wounds. JJ held me while Jo stitched my belly, I did my best not to move but I couldn't help squirming a little. Jo gave me a light hug and left me with JJ. I heard something in the hallway crash, then my breath started quickening. I flashed back to the car crash that killed my biological parents.

<<flashback>>

We were in the car going somewhere important and all of a sudden a huge weight hit our car and sped past us. I looked around seeing my dad's head had hit the windshield and my mom was passed out. I looked down on myself and saw blood on my legs. I crawled out of the car and called 911 with my dads phone

"Hope... Hope!" JJ waved her hands in front of my eyes. "Huh?" I asked. "What just happened?" she asked me. "A flashback..." I started then stopped. I didn't want to talk about it. "okay," she replied simply. "We can get your own clothes back on now. Would you like that?" JJ said. I nodded, and she handed me the stuff Owen had brought. JJ turned around so I could have privacy. I managed to get my underwear on and that was it... I was too weak and sore to manage to put anything over my head or pull up my sweatpants let along reach back to clasp my bra. I just sat there in my underwear and bra half way on. JJ must have heard me stop because she asked if i would like any help, "It's okay I won't hurt you, I'll be careful." "yes please," I agreed it's not like she hasn't already seen me naked on strapped to a table. She came over the bed and closed the bra. She got my t-shirt through my arms and head as well as my pants. I averted eye contact from her. "Thank you," I whispered when she was done. "Your welcome," she replied warmly. I got back in the bed and pulled up the covers. "Can you tell me what happened? We can take it as slow as you want to" I started to recall my memories from a few days ago, "I was in the attendings lounge and I was making breakfast. Someone came from behind and grabbed my shoulders, I started screaming. He hit the back of my head with something and then next thing I knew I was naked on his table." Tears started to fill my eyes. "It's okay your doing good," JJ reassured me. I continued on, "I woke up on the table you found me on and I don't think he moved me from there since I was put on it. I would go in and out of consciousness so I think he had me drugged." "Yes, according to your blood test there were opiates in your system," JJ reported. I gasped. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Amelia is a drug addict and she stresses on the use of opiates," I explained. JJ nodded. I continued on with what happened, "Um he hit me, but he didn't seem to really want to and he kept saying he was sorry. Then and he..." I trailed off not knowing what to say. "Then he raped you?" JJ asked. I nodded yes holding back tears.

POV JJ: I held her carefully trying not to freak her out. "It's okay your safe now. We can be done talking about it for now," I said softly. I texted my team an update about Hope and what happened. Hopefully the information would help them find the guy. "Would you like to see Owen now?" I asked. She nodded, "Can you tell him what happened? I don't know what to say to him." "Yes of course I can," I answered. I went out into the hallway and asked a nurse to get doctor Owen Hunt. I spoke to him quietly outside the door. "Hope said she's ready to see you but be prepared she might freak out. She's been through a lot," I explained. "Yes I know. Um can I ask was she raped?" Owen asked. "Yes, she was..." I broke the news. Owen's face twisted in pain. His fist clenched, I could see he was using all his power not to punch the wall. I can only imagine what he must feel right now. I slowly opened the door and let him in.

POV Owen: I looked at Hope who was doing her best to smile at me. She looked pretty shaken up. How could anyone do this to my daughter. "Hey honey, how are you doing?" I asked softly. "Okay, I guess... I hope they find Amelia soon," she said, her eyes watering. I sat on a chair next to her bed. I tried to hold her hand but she pulled away. "I'm sorry," Hope apologized. "It's okay. I won't do anything you don't want me to." She looked at me gratefully. "I'm so glad your safe," I said in relief. "Me too," she replied distantly. She looked tired so I got up to leave, "Get some rest tonight okay?" Hope nodded, "goodnight."
